(In reply to Charles Arnold from comment #1) > It looks like you are using the new modular libvirt daemons. By default, the monolithic libvirtd is enabled in Leap 15.5. AFAIK, Michal has not actively switched to using modular daemons. Is the libvirtd socket unit enabled/started (systemctl status libvirtd.socket)? Does virsh work fine without modular daemons? E.g. network functionality can be checked with 'virsh net-list --all' and storage functionality with 'virsh pool-list --all'.
